author's choice - crying in the darkness - Your character appears a power onto him/herself, until late in the night, someone discovers him/her deepest secret....that he/she cries himself to sleep in his lonely bed.

WWOMBs Speed Writing Write Off Weekend Event [11 Apr 2009|11:49am]

peja
WWOMBs Speed Writing Write Off Weekend Event

The speed writing write off is officially Saturday thru this Monday this week, but folk have various days off so you can unoficially do the speed writing challenge at any time you have a 24 - 48 hour block of time...your personal weekend, as it were.

The challenge is to write as many stories in all fandoms or genres that you can in the specified block of time. the stories can be in the form of poetry, ficlets, drabbles and chapters...whatever you're inspired to write. This is a good time to check off chapters of those impending WIPs or plot bunnies that have been clambering for attention.

If you need more ideas for stries, try using these WWOMB associated challenge areas

http://www.squidge.org/peja/cgi-bin/challenges.php

PromptsRUs is about a month old, but I'm posting up to 20-30 prompts a day there. It currently has many authors choice prompts and challenges, as well as prompts/challenges for these fandoms....

7 days, adventure inc, airwolf, avatar: the last airbender, batman, becker, buffy, burn notice, castle,
charmed, chuck, cold case, csi, csi miami, damages, diagnosis murder, dr strange, dr who, emergency, ghost whisperer, greek, hercules, hustle, legend of the seeker, leverage, lie to me, life on mars, lost, lost world, mchales navy, moonlight, ncis, nightmare cafe, point pleasant, primeval, reaper, sarah jane adventures, saving grace, sentinel, smallville, spenser for hire, star trek enterprise, stargate, supernatural, teen titans, torchwood, trust me, west wing, xfiles and xmen.

AdoptAPlotBunny has been around for a couple years. Its got even more challenges, in even more fandoms, but the frequency of challenges there isn't the same as the above, sorry bout that.

The WWOMB challenge page has challenges from all my lists, posted by me and the list sibs, and has challenges dating back to '99.

The fandom specific challenges can be adapted to authors choice. so that's the challenge, burn through those pending WIPs and whatever challenges that catch your muse and share with us.

Single fandom/theme lists & comms, over the weekend, you are encouraged to post in whatever fandom you want. Be sure to alert folks in the sub line if the story is in a different fandom or genre when posting a list.


There you have it guys. anyone up for it? word

Oh and Pass the challenge around around to your own lists and comms, inviting folks to post their offerings to one of the prompts sites

Finally, here's a suggested template for your headers.

Challenge - Speed Writers Write Off [04 Apr 2009|02:52pm]

peja
authors choice - weekend free for all challenge - this challenge is a little bit different. Back-story for the challenge...using these challenge areas

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/promptsrus
http://community.livejournal.com/adoptaplotbunny
http://www.squidge.org/peja/cgi-bin/challenges.php

check out the many challenges and plot bunnies, and write as many responses to these as you can over the weekend. I don't care if the responses are drabbles, limericks, ficlets, or the beginning of something longer. Just burn through the challenges that catch your muse and share with us. Single fandom/theme lists & comms, over the weekend, you are encouraged to post in whatever fandom you want. Same thing about the challenges, if something in a specific fandom catches your muse for another fandom, run with it. the idea is to get stories. Just be sure to alert folks in the sub ine if the story is in a different fandom or genre.

Oh and for those back-burnered WIPs...throw those into the mix as well...in other words they count as part of a challenge, even if they aren't part of one. I challenge you to write as many WIP chapters as possible this weekend. Please post the complete to date WIP so we don't have to go searching, or at least a link to the prevous work

There you have it guys. anyone up for it? word...I'm thinking of making this a weekend event so if you don't have time this weekend, use the time over this week to do your bits for next weekend.

This one, go ahead and pass around your own lists and comms, inviting folks to post their offerings to one of the prompts sites

Finally, here's a suggested template for your headers.

update post on Prompts R Us [29 Mar 2009|12:24am]

peja
folks, if you're looking for ideas for those stories, I'd like to offer the [info]promptsrus comm. I load several prompts a day under authors choice, more under various fandoms, but those prompts are open to be used as author choice as well, if they inspire alternative muses elsewhere. Fandom prompts are usually a single charcter, and a phrase or a couple words you can use to do your stories around. This allows you to build in any direction and add any characters that might work for you. Author choice are similair, just no character direction. There also some more fleshed out challenges and improvs posted from time to time.

For folks inclined to write mythological or folkloreish works, I'm also posting prompts of these whimsical creatures from time to time, along witha link to a bit of info on them so you can have a jumping off spot to do some research if you need to.

Stories are tagged by fandom, as are the prompts, to make them easy to find.

authors choice, 7 days, adventure inc, airwolf, avatar: the last airbender, batman, becker, burn notice, castle, charmed, chuck, cold case, csi, csi miami, diagnosis murder, dr strange, dr who, ghost whisperer, hercules, legend of the seeker, leverage, lie to me, life on mars, lost, lost world, moonlight, mythology, legends, folklore, ncis, nightmare cafe, primeval, reaper, saving grace, sentinel, star trek enterprise, stargate, supernatural, teen titans, torchwood, trust me, west wing, xfiles, xfiles, xmen

Oh, and I do reward folks who share their work by posting a fresh batch of prompts in that fandom in the next day or so, making sure to include a prompt for the pairing and single charcters spotlighted in the story

Hope to see you there, guys

prompts comm opened [09 Mar 2009|02:24am]

Tonight I opened a prompts (and challenge) site. Its a place to capture the thoughts and challenges that flit around in my mind that I fully intend to share with the writers on wwomb, but generally don't get noted down before I lose 'em. That said, I'm intending to to post several author choice and fandom related prompts there a day. Anyone else want to share a prompt or challenge are encouraged to do so. You can post as many prompts as you like, in fandom, character prompt, pairing prompt, whatever, but each prompt should be a separate post.

Response stories should also be posted on a separate post, not as a comment, and should be behind the promper cuts.

To christen the site, I've posted the WWOMB site Feb & March Prompts lists, and a couple dozen author choice and character prompts for specific fandom as well as a general challenge addressing the upcoming Friday the 13th. Hope to see some of you there. And if you wanted to spread the word around to interested parties...
